Report into Nottingham NHS maternity scandal set to be published

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

What happened to mothers and their babies - over more than 10 years - at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust? On Wednesday an independent review into maternity care at the trust will be published. We'll hear from one family about their experience and why they're still calling for a public inquiry. Andy Burnham and Sir Keir Starmer are in a standoff over who should decide future defence spending. And 50 years on from record-breaking 1976 heatwave, how is the current one different? And what could the UK's weather feel like in another 50 years?
